Hyaluronic acid is a natural humectant composed of disaccharide (sugar) chains found in every tissue of the human body. It is present in high concentrations within the skin and in the fluids around the eyes and joints. Hyaluronic acid serums that contain this powerful natural humectant provide long-lasting hydration to improve the look of skin texture and plumpness.

Hyaluronic acid serums can also include other beneficial ingredients for the skin, such as vitamin B5 (found in SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel), soothing botanicals (Phyto Corrective Gel), exfoliating ingredients (Retexturing Activator).
